Hi Benny, take a look at the sentence below:

干旱天气多年罕见 用电供煤急剧下降 全国用电负荷攀升

Please tell me what does 用电供煤急剧下降 means? Also tell me what does 供煤 means in the sentence? Does it mean ‘supply coal’ or something? I know that this sentence means ‘sharp decline in electricity’, but I don’t understand usage of this 供煤.

I’m making a guess. Does it mean ‘sharp decline in electricity produced by coal.’

ni hao, Lee Kong. “用电供煤急剧下降” means “Sharp decline in electricity and coal supply”.

供煤 = coal supply
